Last visit to the beach for a perfect sunset. Folks going home tomorrow quite sad, Archie feeling sick which is a bit of a downer. Still the sunset was lovely and there must have been a school of fish nearby as the pelicans kept diving in just in front of us. Each pelican had its own seagull following it and trying to hassle a fish out of it every time they caught one - no chance!

Went to the Circle Halloween party, a much bigger fuss than in the UK there were some great costumes and the local high school dressed up as zombies and did "Killer" in the circle, very good, must bring costumes if we are here again on this date.

Visited by 5 manatees today, Archie spotted them as they munched their way slowly into our inlet. They went down for about 10 minutes at a time and emerged to breath about 30 ft further along. Slow going but they are magical Creatures.

Went to Kennedy space Center , 3 hour drive but worth it, forgot how impressive it was. Doing for the grand children what we had done for the children.
